Dropbox offers 5 base-edition products. These editions are Standard, Advanced, Education, Business and Business Plus. Your customers can purchase three extra add-ons for most of the base-editions. Our implementation combines the base-edition products with the extra features when purchasing Dropbox products for the first time. Otherwise, you can upgrade your existing base-edition products to the extra-featured Dropbox products that we offer. Consequently, the philosophy is that all licensed users enjoy the same functionality from those services. In the following sections of this page, you can find further analysis of the Dropbox services. In addition to the Dropbox products, Dropbox Sign offers products in the same Service Manager. |

The first step is to get the definition of Dropbox services. For doing this, you must run the "Get Services Definition" action on the Dropbox Service Manager instance settings page. This action will create the product types Dropbox Subscription and Dropbox Sign in your BSS along with their respective products and add-ons.

Upgrade Paths & Mutually Exclusive Dropbox Products
During the Get Services Definition process, the upgrade paths for products are created, and mutually exclusive products are set automatically.
The following rules apply for Dropbox upgrades:
Dropbox allows immediate upgrades at any time within the current cycle by following the path Standard→Business→Advanced→Business Plus
Only upgrades between products with the same billing plan are possible for both Dropbox and Dropbox Sign subscriptions
e.g.: Dropbox Business, Annually Commitment - Annually Billed → Dropbox Business, Annually Commitment - Annually BilledSubscriptions can also be upgraded to the same plan (e.g. Business→Business) which contains any add-on of Extended Version History, Data Governance, Premium Support or Replay.
Dropbox executes upgrade/downgrade actions immediately, for this reason, it is strongly recommended to use only the current date as the effective date of an upgrade/downgrade request to avoid incorrect credit invoices.
| Info |
|---|
The interworks.cloud Platform upgrades keep the same billing cycle. To create a new billing cycle for upgrades between different plans (e.g. Standard→Business) please perform the upgrade, then submit a ticket to our support team to have the billing cycle and invoices adjusted. |
| Note |
|---|
If a subscription contains the 1 TB storage pack add-on, it cannot be upgraded unless the add-on is cancelled. |
Downgrades
For downgrades to Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus plans, the following rules apply:
Subscriptions can be downgraded to a lower plan, or to remove add-ons such as Extended Version History, Data Governance, Premium Support , Replay
Immediate downgrades can only be executed within 14 days
Outside the 14 day window, downgrades will be executed at the end of the billing period, and users are prevented from completing the downgrade.
| Warning |
|---|
It is strongly recommended not to make any changes to the automatically assigned upgrade paths, or change the mutually exclusive products. Doing so may cause problems during order execution. |
Cancelling Dropbox Subscriptions
Immediate or specific date cancellations, full or partial, for all Dropbox and Dropbox Sign base plans are only allowed up to 14 days from the ordering date, or upon renewal (at the end of the billing cycle). A prorated refund invoice will be issued for approved cancellations.
A subscription can be cancelled:
Immediately
On a specific date (between the start date of the subscription and the current date)
At the end of the billing period (upon renewal)
| Note |
|---|
The specific date cancellation option requires that the cancellation date is between the start date of the subscription and the current date. Past-date cancellations within the 14-day window cannot be processed accurately due to the fact that Dropbox does not support past-date cancellations. These cancellations will be processed with the current date, which may lead to incorrect credit invoices. |
Dropbox Sign
Dropbox Sign products, previously known as HelloSign feature billing plans/installments and are created by running Get Services Definition with the latest version of the Dropbox Service Manager. The Product Type is Dropbox Sign Subscription. Dropbox and Dropbox Sign products are not mutually exclusive.

A user can not have both SFDC and SFDC CPQ addons.
Add-Ons
Dropbox Sign add-on SKUs require a 1-1 quantity match with the subscription quantity amount. This means that any time a user orders Dropbox Sign licenses in the Storefront, they must also include an equal quantity increase of any add-ons contained in the same subscription. This includes quantity increases for existing subscriptions. Similarly, the quantity of add-ons cannot be changed without changing the subscription quantity.
| Note |
|---|
Please note that if the quantities of the subscriptions and add-ons are not equal, the order will be prevented from executing and a message will be displayed stating that the quantity of the base product and add-on(s) is not matched. |
In the Storefront, users must purchase the related add-on in an equal amount manually. In case of a difference in the quantity, a precheck mechanism will stop the order from execution and an error message will be displayed.
In the BSS, when increasing the quantity of a subscription, the quantity of any related add-ons will be increased automatically.
